The story
of a young life being turned around for the better, Wan Deuk (Yoo Ah In) lives
in a rooftop apartment with his father, right next to them lives Wan Deuk’s
teacher Dong Joo (Kim Yoon Seok) who is always after him, so whenever Wan Deuk
is at church he prays for his teacher’s sudden death. However Wan Deuk’s father
often asks Dong Joo to look after Wan Deuk while he is out working as a clown
with his friend, and so they become closer. Dong Joo is someone who works with
immigrants and that is how he gets to know Wan Deuk’s mother, a Pilipino woman,
and so he tells Wan Deuk about her and how he should meet her, which he
eventually does. Meanwhile Wan Deuk also finds another passion which is kickboxing..

As you can
see I had a hard time writing a longer review, the reason is that there is not
one specific plot going on, it’s actually very easy-going with things kind of
slowly happening. Actually it’s one of those movies where you just watch and in
the end, it’s not like one big thing happened, but the end result is big. It’s
an alright movie actually, and I had not recognized Yoo Ah In (from
Sungkyungkwang scandal) but I definitely knew I had seen him somewhere. This
movie is actually made later but he somehow looks much younger. But his acting
definitely I think is good. The movie also somehow (my opinion) seems kind of
cheap. I’m not sure how, but it’s just isn’t one of those I would go to the
movies to watch. Anyhow, the whole thing was okay and it is actually okay-recommendable,
it’s not a movie I would tell you “uuh uuuh! You HAVE to watch this one”. Aaahh
I don’t know. The message too is good, but then again it could have been told
better maybe?
